Gap between hood nd bumper

Does anyone know why this gap appeared? I didn’t crash or anything I swamped my bumper out for a different one but at first the gap wasn’t as big but since after an accident occurred where my bumper had hit the street quite hard because the street was steep it hasn’t been the same. Does anyone know how to fix it or atleast reduce the gap? I’m not sure if it’s something because of the hood or if it’s bumper or maybe even the frame but I’m just trying to get it fixed.

hows it look at the sides witht he fenders? Only thing to do is take it back off and try again it's just not properly installed is about all I could take a guess with.

I’ve already taken it off multiple times unfortunately everytime it ends up like that, and as for the fenders it doesn’t exactly line up with the bumper anymore.

If neither the bumper nor any brackets are broken, you can try the bumper height adjustment torx screws under the hood, on both sides of the radiator cover. That gap looks pretty big, though, the bumper must have taken a hit and may be sagging because something cracked or broke.

EDIT: here's a picture, see the red arrows.

I’ll give that a try haven’t tried that! But yeah it kinda did take a good hit since I drove into a street that’s downslope nd full of water once I drove into it my bumper took cracked from the bottom, it even took my lip lol

When I read the thread title, I thought those adjustment screws might be the answer - but then I saw the photo and the gap seems too extreme for that to be the fix. Let us know what you find out!
